Need help with edelbrock 1406 carb

There are metal screens, you can use the big one immediately as fuel enters carb, OR there are 2 small ones leading into needle and seat(pretty sure that's where they're located)
Google Mike's Carb Parts, great guy, good stuff.
I have never used a psi regulator on any of the jalopies I've owned, maybe I got lucky? Never an elec pump either.
Is there a filter in the carb itself too? The one I changed was an inline filter.
